Chapter 173 The Evil and Pampered Miss 12 Counterattack
The Yan family's investigation into the Cheng family is still ongoing, and the previous incident of ghosts appearing in the haunted house has also been roughly investigated.
"It was done by someone from the Cheng family. The surveillance footage from that day has been retrieved and the evidence is conclusive, but the two people who went to release the ghost have disappeared." Listening to the words of the old Taoist priests, Yan Mi couldn't help but frown.
"Missing? Is he dead or missing? What a coincidence?" Yan Mi asked. The situation seemed to be getting more and more confusing. If the Cheng family really did this, why?
"They are missing, and there is no news from the Cheng family about those two people." said the old Taoist priest.
"How's the investigation going into the matter of stealing luck? Can we go to the Cheng family?" Yan Mi continued to ask.
She hasn't even tried out her newfound abilities yet, but she can't wait.
"We haven't caught any evidence yet, but the Cheng family has checked many people recently. We have marked those people as key targets and can take action against them at any time." The old Taoist priest was eager to make a big move. The world had been peaceful for too long, so long that ghosts were walking around in the world in human skin and creating such inhumane things.
"That's perfect. I recently learned some new magic from the adults, so I can try it out." Yan Mi became excited. Even if he couldn't directly destroy the Cheng family's plan, fighting guerrilla warfare outside would also be a good idea.
She began to look forward to what would happen after the Cheng family lost its source of luck.
"Young lady is truly blessed to have won the favor of the Lord." The old Taoist priest praised Yan Mi with curiosity in his eyes.
Seeing his eager expression, Yan Mi said, "I haven't learned it yet. If I do, I'll teach it to the old master, or I'll ask Grandpa to make a book of the technique and give it to every member of the Yan family."
The old Taoist priest opened his mouth wide, his heart trembling, but he said, "Will that master approve of you doing this?"
"He allowed me to teach the Yan family's children, but these basics must be kept confidential and not known to outsiders." In fact, Jiang Buxun never said it, but Yan Mi felt that he would definitely not refuse her.
From this perspective, she also created an image of a good person for Jiang Buxun, which would definitely win the favor of everyone in the Yan family.
The old Taoist priest was very happy. After laughing a few times, he stroked his beard and said, "I have to tell the old man this good news. If the young lady needs us, please feel free to contact us."
Yan Mi agreed, and the old Taoist priest left.
She found Cheng Qing, who was accompanied by Xing Weihou, who was standing next to her holding a box of strawberries, which seemed to be a gift for Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing's face was calm and indifferent. She didn't even glance at Xing Weihou. But when she saw Yan Mi coming over, she stood up and walked towards her. "How did you find time to come here?"
Yan Mi pulled Cheng Qing to a corner and said, "I have news to tell you."
She told Cheng Qing everything she knew. Cheng Qing looked solemn. "Maybe it was indeed the Cheng family who did it. I recently recalled some things from my childhood. My mother was actually the original wife of the head of the Cheng family, but after something happened, my mother took me back to the countryside. The next time I heard about the Cheng family, it was about the head of the Cheng family getting married."
Yan Mi was surprised, "What happened next?"
Seeing her expression of bewilderment, Cheng Qing said, "Later, my mother died for some reason, and I was taken back to the Cheng family. However, I was kicked out by the Cheng family when I became an adult. I was bullied a lot in the Cheng family. Everyone said I was an illegitimate daughter, and I was suppressed everywhere after leaving the Cheng family. I think they might have been targeting me when they took me back to the Cheng family."
Yan Mi clapped his hands, "That must be the case. Look, you've been practicing without making any progress before, but now that you've gotten rid of the soul-sucking seed, you're completely different. I feel like you can beat ten of me now."
"Thank you very much. One day I will investigate these matters thoroughly." Cheng Qing said.
She took over this person's body, so she had to do something for her.
The Cheng family had checked everyone at this time, and only Cheng Qing and Xing Weihou were left.
Cheng Shouxi was called back by the head of the Cheng family. At this time, she was standing in the hall, surrounded by powerful elders of the Cheng family.
Patriarch Cheng looked at the information in his hand and said, "I can't let you see these two people do it. Xiaoxi, Dad is very disappointed in you."
"I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to do that. It was the only daughter of the Yan family who kept making trouble, so I didn't notice them." Cheng Shouxi hurriedly explained.
"The girl from the Yan family?" Patriarch Cheng put the information aside. "Is she still alive?"
"Ah?" Cheng Shouxi knew very few secrets, and she didn't understand why the head of the Cheng family would say such a thing.
The head of the Cheng family always felt that something was wrong. "I will send someone to follow you. You must find another opportunity to plant the seed in Cheng Qing's body. Will you complete this mission?"
"I will, Dad." Cheng Shouxi didn't dare to refuse.
"Okay, this matter must be completed. I believe in our Xiaoxi." The head of the Cheng family said with a smile.
Cheng Shouxi was afraid in his heart but he still had to smile and thank the head of the Cheng family.
After the head of the Cheng family left, three young members of the Cheng family appeared in the hall, "Sister Xi, we are here to help you complete the task this time."
The person who was speaking was a teenager, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen, with dyed silver hair. He stood in the middle of the team and was deliberately trying to look cool in front of Cheng Shouxi.
"Cheng Shu, it's you." Cheng Shouxi was a little surprised.
Cheng Shu's strength ranks among the top ten among the new generation of Cheng family members, but this time he is asked to help.
Cheng Shouxi couldn't help but feel happy. If she had Cheng Shu's help, she might be able to teach Yan Mi a lesson and make her kneel in front of her and beg for mercy.
"Yes, the head of the family attaches great importance to this mission, so he sent me here. Let's go quickly." Cheng Shu said.
After they arrived at the set, they did not take action directly, but made a plan. Cheng Shouxi would first ask the people to come out, and then bring them to a formation they had set up, so that no one would be able to escape.
Yan Mi was a little nervous that day, so he didn't leave the set but stayed there.
When she saw Cheng Shouxi appear, she already understood something.
Cheng Shouxi was talking to Cheng Qing, and when she saw Yan Mi coming over again, she could hardly hold back the smile on her face.
"Xiaoqing, are you really not going with me?" Cheng Shouxi asked.
Cheng Qing was stunned for a moment, "I'll go with you."
Yan Mi followed, "Where are you going? I want to go too."
"It's just a private matter between Xiaoqing and me. Why are you following me?" Cheng Shouxi looked at her with disgust. "Don't meddle in other people's business."
"Cheng Qing's affairs are not trivial matters. I must go." Yan Mi snorted and followed them closely.
Cheng Qing also said: "Let her go with us."
Cheng Shouxi also heard Cheng Shu's voice in her earphones, "Sister Xi, let her come. We promise to help you vent your anger."
Hearing him say this, Cheng Shouxi finally agreed, "Then follow me. If Xiaoqing hadn't spoken up, I would have made you get out."
Yan Mi was disdainful.
She secretly communicated with Cheng Qing, and after discussing it, they felt that Cheng Shouxi had revealed too many flaws, but this was also a good opportunity for them to test the Cheng family.
Behind them, the Yan family also followed them.
It was almost evening when they arrived at their destination, which was a cemetery.
Yan Mi frowned slightly, "Why are we here?"
"Look at my mother. I heard she was buried here." Cheng Qing said.
"I heard?" Yan Mi looked at her, as if asking why.
"After my mother died, I never knew where she was buried. If she hadn't told me this time, I wouldn't have known either," Cheng Qing explained.
Cheng Shouxi knew where Cheng Qing's mother was buried, so he took them there without stopping.
When they arrived at the tombstone, Yan Mi saw that the person in the photo on the tombstone did look a bit like Cheng Qing.
When she turned her head, she saw Cheng Qing crying. She hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her.
Cheng Shouxi had achieved what she wanted to do. She took a few steps back, feeling disgusted with the situation. "You two can take your time to reminisce about the past. Now that I've brought you here, there's nothing for me to do. I'll be leaving now."
Yan Mi waved at her and said, "Get out of here now."
Cheng Shouxi snorted and trotted away.
Shortly after she left, the atmosphere around Yan Mi and Cheng Qing changed instantly.
The lush cemetery turned into a desolate place shrouded in endless darkness, and the trees dried up and became dead branches.
Yan Mi and Cheng Qing looked at each other and said, "Finally."
The cemetery around them began to twist and deform, and dead bones crawled out of the graves. When they saw Yan Mi and the others, they immediately swarmed over with their fangs and claws bared.
The two also began to deal with these dry bones, but Yan Mi and Cheng Qing were in sync and took the initiative to show weakness, as if they were gradually exhausted due to the large number of dry bones.
Cheng Shu, who was staying on the periphery, led his men into the formation they had set up.
Yan Mi and Cheng Qing were surrounded by dry bones. When they saw the Cheng family coming, they both had an idea.
"It's amazing that you two have managed to hold on until now. If you're willing to eat this, I can let you go." Cheng Shu pointed at Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing looked around cautiously and asked him, "Why do you have to force me? I said I would stay away from the Cheng family and would not reveal my relationship with them."
"You're already out of seeds. I don't believe you don't know what will happen. If you don't want the eldest daughter of the Yan family next to you to die, I advise you to be obedient." Cheng Shu threw the seeds in front of her, "It's your choice whether to eat it or not."
Cheng Shu likes the feeling of playing with others in the palm of his hand. At this moment, he seems to be the master.
"I won't eat it." Cheng Qing said, and he used all his magic power to clean up all the dry bones. The remaining magic power created a gust of wind, and Cheng Shouxi was caught off guard and was blown to the ground.
Cheng Shu blocked the wind, his eyes revealing madness, "Hahaha, the master is right. If I don't kill you soon, you will cause trouble sooner or later."
Cheng Shu rushed forward with his magic weapon, his desire to fight becoming more and more fanatical.
Cheng Qing was ready for battle, but when Cheng Shu approached them, he suddenly changed direction and attacked Yan Mi who was next to him.
Yan Mi was a little flustered. She had many ways to save her life, and Cheng Shu couldn't get close to her for a while.
She took out one top-notch magic weapon after another, and Cheng Shu was a little jealous. He thought to himself that she was worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Yan family, as she was the only one who could enjoy such good things.
If he could really kill her, then everything she had would be his.
Yan Mi has been practicing well recently. Her eyes are on the soul-sucking seeds on the ground, but on the surface she is deliberately fighting with Cheng Shu.
When she moved to the side of the soul-sucking seed, Yan Mi immediately picked up the seed. As she recited the incantation and injected magic power, the soul-sucking seed completely became Yan Mi's.
Yan Mi was not interested in planting this soul-sucking power on other people's souls. All she wanted was an extra fighting power.
